WMSO Maestro Theresa Bailey
Theresa Bailey Bio:
Theresa Bailey began playing violin in the age old tradition of her family at the age of 7 years. She studied violin with private instructors, as the public school in her area offered no orchestral instruction. In Junior High she auditioned and began studying with the Assistant Concertmaster of the Buffalo Philharmonic, Harry Taub. With the support of her family and the long time tradition of violinists in her family she continued successfully as a violinist. Upon graduating from high school and having obtained many honors from her playing throughout her high school years, she then attended Ohio University 's School of Music under the guidance of Howard Beebe, a former student of Ivan Galamian. She completed her BMUS with her focus in Performance on Violin and Music Education. She completed a dual degree in music while being a section violinist, Principle Second, and Concertmaster of the Ohio University Symphony at various times. She also had the privilege of auditioning and playing section violin with the Charleston Symphony in Charleston, West Virginia under the direction of Thomas Conlin.
Upon completion of college, she then began her professional career as a teacher of orchestral music in Winterhaven, Florida where she taught not only in the Polk County School System but at Polk Community College . After teaching there for three years, she went overseas and worked as Logistics Coordinator for the U.S. Army on the island of Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands . Upon returning stateside she began her 13 year teaching career in Yuma, Arizona . She began building the orchestral program in the schools there and encouraged the youth in the schools to continue in orchestral studies and created a successful program that went up through the junior high school and eventually into the high schools. She has performed many solo recitals, was a regular walk-in artist with the Imperial Valley Symphony and spent some of her years as the director of the Yuma Chamber Orchestra.
She now resides in the White Mountains of Arizona with her two children and is Assistant Director, Junior High Mentor, and the High School English Instructor at Jefferson Academy of Advanced Learning. She is currently Concertmaster of the White Mountain Symphony Orchestra and maintains her private violin studio along with the orchestral program she is developing at Jefferson Academy . She stays busy with school, her performance with the symphony, her family, and being able to share her music with others.
